Just report the OP if this is a dupe, haven't seen it posted anywhere.

Thoughts? Still no news on a localisation, sadly. Between this staying in Japan for the time being and still no news on PSO2's localisation, it's quite a disappointing time.

Given that FF XIV is PS3/4/PC and even PSO2 is Vita/PC, it makes sense that Dragon Quest has made the leap across. PC is just where the market (mostly) is, and it seems silly to ignore it.

Still, I am quite surprised to see this announced so soon.

hope it lands on the PS4

Huh, that's a weird choice!

Then again, the PC as a gaming platform is in a weird place today. I think I actually like this bit of news.

Man, I was hoping for localization but I guess that's even less of a chance now. Maybe, just maybe the PC version will come, or Nintendo will pay for translation and NA/EU servers or something (... yeah I know)

Well I'll just have to wait for Dragon Quest VII 3DS localization then Dragon Quest XI (which hopefully will be a full game and on 3DS like IX was on DS - but better I hope)

Seems like a logical choice to me...

Oh. But this is Square-Enix. Yeah, that is weird.

1. DQX never should have been a MMO game.

2. Given that it is, they're NEVER going to make money on it by having it be Japan only. Japan is not a good market for online gaming in general. If they want it to make money, they MIGHT want to get a localized version for Wii U in NA and EU. Just a thought.

As an MMO this is where it should have been in the first place.

If it were single player the Wii/WiiU decision would make some sense. Console exclusive MMOs only end up in one place.

next stop: mobile

thats great an all but its still an MMO =/, Dragon Quest is fun because it is single player.
